English

Subject field(s)
  • Currency and Foreign Exchange
DEF

A floating exchange rate system in which some government intervention still takes place. A government may announce that it will let its currency float, that is, it will let the currency's value be determined by the forces of supply and demand in the market. However, the government may secretly allow its central bank to intervene in the exchange market to avoid too much appreciation of the currency (hurts exports) or too much depreciation (increases inflation).
